Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) told Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday that he thinks the planned select committee to investigate the 2012 Benghazi attack is a “colossal waste of time” and suggested that Democrats should not participate on the panel.

A Democratic member of the House intelligence committee called Sunday for his party to boycott the newly announced committee tasked with probing the Benghazi attacks, dismissing new evidence that Republicans have called a “smoking gun” showing the White House politicized the tragedy.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told “Fox News Sunday” that Democrats should not give the select committee more “credibility” by joining.

Fox News was told on Friday, when House Speaker John Boehner announced that the House would vote on creating a special committee, that the panel would be bipartisan.

Schiff’s comments, though, raise the prospect that his party could try to define the committee as a political vessel by sitting it out. The remarks reflect how the committee, which has not yet been formally approved, already is a political football. It would begin its investigative work in the heat of the midterm election season, poised to level damaging charges against the Obama administration at a sensitive time.

Watch the full exchange below, which also included as a guest Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.).

Comments

Typical. They know the facts look increasingly bad for the administration and State, so the only thing left is to try to delegitimize the proceedings by refusing to participate. That could easily backfire, as there would then be no one there to defend Obama and Hillary.

If what the Select Committee uncovers enables us to get rid of Democrat hacks like Adam Schiff it won’t be a waste of time. He might survive if is from one of those safe districts full of politically unsophisticated voters but the traitors in the White House won’t survive Trey’s searchlight.

They play into the fiendishly clever hands of the Republican leadership, though, who will pillory them for confirming the allegations by fraudulently denying the obvious. Thank God for the take-no-prisoners GOP!

I suspect members of the Democrat caucus are telling Pelosi to keep them out this. It is the equivalent of falling on your sword and during an election year. If they boycott it no one has to draw the black bean.

If they sent him out there to say that to me proves that more than he are scared. If you don’t think he was told what to say then I suggest you purchase your return ticket to reality. Them saying that it is a waste of time is kind of like a known drug dealer telling you there is no reason to search his car.

“Its a waste of time” or “What difference does it make” have been the only real defense offered by the loony left since the beginning of the Benghazi investigations. Even when their continued stonewalling, intimidation, and stonewalling can’t prevent new discoveries coming out every couple of months.

Seriously folks if you want to know how scared they are about this, just look at all the folks they are shoving in front of camera’s to say its all for nothing. I mean they even let Plouff out without a handler.

JUST LIKE PROSECUTING ANY CRIME. They’re all in the past. We can’t change that. Sh*t happens. Why bother, even if people were murdered. Why have any laws at all. Violations of none of them can be prospectively enforced. What difference does it make…
